LED's are a personal thing, some of my mate's have all one colour and other's, myself included have different colours and I have different tones too. Makes it far easier at night to know which rod is getting liners or interest without lifting your head, I'm sounding lazy now

My lads 2 are both red, which he prefers, as he leaves the single night light on them when he's night fishing. Which he thinks red is best for that.

Thanks everyone for all of the helpful input. I just ordered the ProLogic Bat+ 3+1 set with coloured LED's. I got it for £90 delivered, so a good deal I think. I'm off on vacation from 1st August, so it will be a good few weeks before I can test them on the water. Once I have had a few sessions with them, I will aim to come back to this thread and give some feedback, which will hopefully help others in future who are also looking for a low cost set of alarms.

I purchased a Bat 3+1 set last year, used them a couple of times and was VERY impressed with them. I was then offered a set of Delks very cheap, so passed the Bats onto my daughter. She absolutely loves them.
I managed (by some fluke) to pick the whole set up for £62.99! Absolute steal from Fishtec. This video (not brilliant) put me on to them and the deal that was being done at the time.....

I was so impressed with them that I also bought my Son a couple of the alarms without the receiver (he doesn't do nights and never leaves his rods so didn't need it). He also loves them.
I don't think you are going to be disappointed in the slightest.

It is unfortunate Fishtec closed down, i bought a few bits and pcs from them over the years, they often had good deals on.

Just recieved the set today, and like you, i am very impressed with them. Good build quality, cool design, various sound and sensitivity levels, neat carry case, and a very useful glow in the dark sleeve for the reciever. I have been playing around with them at home and all appears to work well.

I'm very pleased with my choice, thanks lads. Now looking forward to testing them out on the water.

I will be fishing all day tomorrow, overnight and all day Monday. Forecast is for constant rain throughout the day and night and all day Monday. I know these ProLogic BAT bite alarms are advertised as waterproof, or is it splash proof, I'm just wondering if 36 or so hours of constant rain could potentially damage them?

Has anyone tested the ProLogic BAT alarms in constant rain over a day or two, and if so did they hold up OK?

Loved Fishtec. If you were the patient type
You could wait for some real bargains. And there 25 quid off deals. I once got a shimano biomaster 8000 xta for 50 quid
Are you sure?
